September 3rd 18–– My Dear T___ T___, While it is no longer the current fashion in these tell-all times, in the 18th century and the early part of the 19th, it was practically de rigueur to refer to certain personages and locations merely by a single letter, or in some cases, a mere blank. This, no doubt, found its origin in the newspapers of the period, wishing to avoid suits at law when repeating gossip about public figures, from politicians to aristocrats and possibly even members of the R____ F____. The form was adopted by writers of novels, when obliquely referring to same or to entirely fictional characters, or even to fictional cities and counties. Often, stories that were based upon actual events would use a blank to avoid referring to real people. With that in mind, you will better understand when I tell you about what Mr. A____ said to the Countess of B____ in the gardens of _____ House when the Earl was not listening. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })See also Year X, for doing the same thing with dates, as to obscure when the events in question took place as well as where. Reading these works may have you wishing for the decoder key...or as Monsieur T____ of the French Lit Crit circle would say, the "Clef" of the Roman à Clef. Or look for a pulldown menu. Sincerely, Yr. Hmbl. & Obdt. Svt. R____ S____ Examples: |

Kill Bill: The protagonist's name is bleeped out when it is spoken in Vol. 1; she's mostly just referred to as "the Bride," or occasionally as "Kiddo" by Bill. It's only in part two that you discover her name is Beatrix Kiddo. It does appear as a Freeze-Frame Bonus in the first part, on her ID when she buys a plane ticket. | |

The overused cliché, combined with the old word for districtnote "uyezd" instead or "rayon"; by 1927 when the book was published over 3/4 of USSR had already switched to the new administrative and territorial division system gives the impression of a remote backwater still stuck in the 19th century. | |

A variant in Eileen. Eileen lives in the town of X-ville, the X obscuring the real name of the town. | |

The Island of Sheep has a similar bit about the outward respectability of the criminals in that one. | |

The letters in The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls are addressed in this style. Justified in that it's autobiographical, to protect people's privacy. | |

In Tales of the City, Michael hooks up with a closeted gay movie star named ____ ____ (who in hindsight was obviously Rock Hudson, but no one would have believed that in 1978). | |

Both of x0o0x_'s YouTube channels are nameless, and almost all of their songs are nameless. These blank titles are created by using a "zero width non-joiner" for the title. This namelessness contributes to their Reclusive Artist status and makes searching up their music extremely difficult, if not impossible. | |

Fallen London: Used vehemently when a character cannot be addressed by Their Adjective-Laced Title or with a pseudonym (Doctor Schlomo is Sigmund Freud, Mr. Huffam is Charles Dickens). | |

In The Count of Monte Cristo, there is a minor character named Countess G_____. However, this is a subversion, as she's based on the real Teresa, Countess Guiccoli (and the mistress of Lord Byron). | |

TV Tropes terminology notwithstanding, it's generally called Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. (Announcers read it as "Don't Trust the B".) | |

Spoofed in John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme Series 8, Episode 1, where the Storyteller sets the scene as "It was the year eighteen blank, and I was fortunate enough to have secured, in the prosperous market town of Blanksbury, the living of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Blank". | |

Dead Souls starts with a carriage arriving to a hotel in "province seat NN", "the provincial city of N. N.", or "the provincial town of N." depending on the translation. | |

The novel She does this to the dates and to the name of the college the protagonists are associated with, in order to preserve the fiction that Haggard is merely publishing another man's manuscript and leaving out identifying details, as the original author requested. | |
